Reply to "GGD Passenger Train Production?"

A little information that might be helpful.  The current status with aluminum GGD car sets is the builder is currently willing to go to 60 sets for a minimum run.  Basically about 500 cars total. 

Aluminum tooling makes these project feasible as there is not injection mold like you would see in plastic or cast metals.  The extrusion is continuous for all practical purposes and is simply cut to size (scale or short) in this case.  End caps, add-on details, trucks are the same.  The differences are in the windows, length of light bar and interior.  Not very difficult to deal with.  Windows are all CNC these days so there is no tool.

As for status, these projects are sometime slow to fill.  S is a niche market even more so than O, but once enough orders come in to make the project feasible it will go.
